BRASSICA- CANCER BLOCKERS !

The health bestowing powers of brassica- broccoli & its many cousins are just astounding. The phytochemicals & other nutrients in these tasty veggies are more important part of the battle against cancer.


These veggies include- arugula, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collared greens, kohlrabi, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed oil ( canola), turnip & mustard greens.


What these veggies do?


the powerful chemicals in these veggies turn off genes that promote cancers, including bladder, prostrate, breast & ovarian cancer & are able to help reduce wide inflammation. Their arsenal of disease-zappers includes cancer fighting amino acids such as lysine, as well as important trace minerals- selenium, potassium, calcium, zinc & magnesium, which keep the immune system strong & protect vital organs. These nutrient warriors target cancer cells & don't damage the healthy ones.


To get all the anti-cancer benefits which are packed into these tasty veggie treats, saute them  lightly, add fresh garlic, steam or microwave them. Don't boil the broccoli, as then it not only releases the health-giving chemicals from the plant's cells, it turns then to mush. Fresh is always the best.
